Is Turning Store-Level Data into Actionable Insights the Next Big Thing in Assortment Planning?
HIVERY has been garnering recognition in the retail technology sector, making significant appearances on Fast Company’s list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies, CB Insights’ Retail Tech 100, and Gartner’s reports. The secret behind this success? A unique blend of proprietary AI and operations research techniques, transforming store-level data into actionable insights for retailers and CPG category management brands and marketing teams.

They might answer the “who” and “why” of shopping behavior but frequently stumble on the “what” to do in stores. The task is further complicated when consumers aren’t entirely truthful, omit crucial information, or when the consumer and the shopper are two different entities. This, in effect, complements “who” and “why” approaches and now, with AI, provides the “what” to do in stores.
